I've been wondering if I could get one for my machine and how much they cost. Anyone know? I just found out I'm going to be a great Aunt 3 times over! So, I'll be doing blankets for a while outside of making one for my Gr8t GD! I'm so blessed!

The sales staff is very knowlegable and helpful. But after I got home realized there are no instructions to help me learn how to use it. No helpful hints, nothing. Augh!!!!

I paid $125 for one for my Viking and my new Singer came with one. I cannot believe the difference it has made in my
piecing and quilting. I had bought a cheap one for my cheap
Brother and I think the key word was "cheap" it didn't work but then the "Brother" is nothing to write home about either.

You so want a walking foot! Where possible purchase the one that "goes" with your machine. It is amazing the difference between the manufacturer's walking foot and a generic one. Just how it lines up with the machine's feed dogs makes a big difference. I had to replace my Bernina Walking Foot after 12 years of use. Couldn't imagine that I could have worn it out, but I did, 1400 Charity Quilts later!
Some versions may be difficult to attach. Try removing your Needle Screw (this also removes the Needle). Place the claw arm over the area where the Needle Screw goes, replace the Needle Screw and your Needle and tighten in place. See if that works.
